A Muslim group set up after the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London has cut its
ties with the government during a dispute with the Home Office, amid signs
on a wider level of a souring of relationships between Muslim organisations
and ministers.

The Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board (Minab) was founded with
ministers’ backing in 2006 to create core standards and promote good
governance in mosques and Islamic centres. The group has now stopped
receiving public money after refusing to bow to government pressure to sever
links with certain groups.
